Synopsis
This book presents a collection of conundrums, riddles that involve a pun. Conundrums have been a staple of human entertainment for centuries and have been collected and recorded since the early modern period. The author of this book takes a scholarly approach to the conundrum, tracing their history and evolution, as well as their literary significance. He places them in historical and literary contexts, discussing how they reflect the concerns and preoccupations of different eras. The book is not just a dry academic tome, however. It is also a treasure trove of conundrums, both classic and obscure, that will delight and amuse readers of all ages. The author's witty and erudite commentary makes this book a must-have for anyone who loves wordplay and the history of language.
